Fallout – Differences in Fallout 3 between Xbox 360 and PC

fallout-3

I'm finally getting around to playing Fallout 3, and I heard there were differences between the PC version and the Xbox 360 version. Half of my friends have played the Xbox 360 version, and half the PC, but no one I know has played both. If I were to play Steam Fallout 3, I'd get achievements, right?

So what, if any, are the major the differences in plot, graphics, gameplay, expansions?

Best Answer

Regarding plot, gameplay and expansions Fallout 3 is exactly the same on all platforms (PC, XBox 360 and PS3).

The differences in the PC version are the ability to do more precise tunings on graphic setttings, the possibility to enable the developer console and the huge advantage that you can install many MODs developed by community.

MODs are modifications to the original game created by community members.

Fallout 3 in particular is easily moddable and for this reason the community created hundreds of different mods and modifications that change every aspect of the game:

  • Graphics (better textures, dynamic weather, object re-skins, NPC 3D models and faces etc.)
  • Gameplay (hardcore modes, balance fixes, etc.)
  • Sounds

or add original contents like new armors, weapons, buildings or even complete new quests.

I suggest you to visit the amazing Fallout 3 Nexus website that has a huge database of mods and patches and it is the reference site for many Fallout 3 modders.
